{The East Turkestan organization claimed that it would attack all the Olympic cities}

On the 5th, there was a confirmed report that a radical Islamic group, which advocates for the independence of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and is suspected to have led the terrorist attack on the Xinjiang police force on the 4th, issued a public statement claiming that they would attack the six cities including Hong Kong and Qingdao that are co-hosting Beijing Olympic Games events. This statement, released after the Xinjiang terrorist attack and at a time when Olympic security has entered an extraordinary state, is causing a growing sense of unease among people.
